I visited Goddard and Bright Horizons, and we choose Goddard, they are very comparable. Goddard is going for the NYEAC (?) accreditation this fall and Bright Horizons doesn?t have it, not that it really mattered to us but we figured it was just another regulatory agency that would be visiting the site and ensuring compliance etc. The thing I like about Bright Horizons was they don?t allow shoes in the infant room, so babies aren?t crawling around on dirty floors. Bright Horizons was more expensive and you have to pay for more than 9 hours a day. Also Goddard offered 4 or 5 day plans only, Bright Horizons offered 2, 3, or 5 (I think). But they were both great. I know families that went to both and speak very highly of them.
